Answer 1

Answer: B. Raising tariffs on imported goods.

Explanation: Raising tariffs on imported goods, is the right answer.

Following the end of War of 1812, the people of America went through a wave of Nationalism, a feeling of economic well-being generated by unusual economic accomplishment and a period of time in which national government's fame was intensified. The embargo created by Jefferson generated provocation for production of industries. following the war, the U.S. market was flooded with the goods produced in Europe particularly in Britain. Therefore, to protect the producers of America, the U.S. Congress raised tariffs on imported goods.
